Yeah, the TechniIce thing wasn't the reason I used "Ice boxes" in the game. It was the first image that showed up when I looked for "Ice boxes" when I was looking at it to answer you :D
As sagerock820 said, and he's as American as NY-style pizza, he has seen written as "coolers", "ice chests", and "ice boxes", and I should trust my proofreaders, right? ;)
Ah - a Yankee. Makes sense. ;):ROFLMAO:

I'm Texan and that isn't a term you see used that way in our region. :cool:

Haven't spent any significant lengths of time in the upper Northeast and really haven't had many conversations where that term would have come into play - not a lot of chances to get into deep discussions on outdoorsy things with business acquaintances unless it somehow has something to do with the "business" being discussed. The most likely spot I'd see it, if I ever did, would be in a television show or somesuch - lots of them based in NYC, some in Boston, but rarely anything that would have an outdoors or camping vibe to it.

Like Xerox is a name for photocopies. Like Chiclets are the name of Chewing gum.

Heheheheh.

Peace :)
And Hoover functionally became the name of all vacuum cleaners
Okay, Xerox, Hoover and Kleenex are synonymous with their product wherever I've been. Can't say I've ever been somewhere people say Chiclets instead of Gum though ...

We have Bimbo bread (English bread)
I worked with a baking company client many years ago that had an interest in "Bimbo". First time I saw it I was a bit amused, since the only other use of that term I'd ever seen was a reference to either a very loose woman or a prostitute. I guess such women could get petty yeasty, so maybe that's the connection. :LOL:

With the heavy Hispanic influence in my area, I will occasionally seen the Bimbo logo on delivery trucks in areas that serve primarily Mexican ethnic communities.
